19th day Wed 30th April
Started the day going grocery shopping with Manvir,unsure for the first time on our journey where we would be spending tonight – remote town or in our own tent? So we needed adequate food provision. – onward….
Not a particularly scenic journey,so flat and dry ,extremely windy and can feel it where ever we stopped.Its almost as if the tide has gone out of this region and forgotten to come back ,leaving behind dry ,dusty land with no greenery what so ever
Pretty warm day
Reached Beyneu – a remote town! Managed to find some accommodation – word v basic comes to mind – but better then pitching up in the wilderness in very windy conditions in the dark.
Walked around town,into the market place – v friendly – good way to break the ice ,take a photo and show the result- always brings a smile to their faces
Managed to find a bar,yes a bar which served cold draught beer and which was extremely refreshing .Quality of the beer has been excellent throughout our journey.
Stayed at this place and had dinner to – BBQ chicken,v tasty and cooked on something I use at home ,plus we doused it with our own Nando sauce
Finished off the evening ,with all of us watching a movie -12 angry men ,in our small confined room.At some stage all 4 of us have to identify ,which one of us most closely resembles one of the characters in the movie and what is the view of the others on our choice – will be interesting when this discussion takes place
Unusual day,but fun.Look forward to tomorrow morning and the use of the communal bathroom and I think for the first time the squat position will be in operation !!
Will be hopefully crossing into Uzbekistan tomorrow
